Why didn't we see much of Suzanne during this last season?

My guess would be that because in previous seasons she came across as nothing but a drunken stoned idiot. Maybe producers thought it wasn't such a good idea to publicize having someone like that around 2 small children. Maybe they didn't think it would be good for the supermom image they're pushing.

LOL.. Great said! Totally agree with you. Suzanne must have some sort of problem.. And i didnt like her with the kids, someone (or thousands) must have written in.
